Chemical Peels FAQs
Give Your Skin a Fresh Start: Exfoliate and Restore
A daily facial cleanser is a key element of your skincare routine, but it’s often not enough on its own. The skin will eventually lose its luster due to aging, sun damage, or chronic conditions such as acne. A chemical peel offers a powerful solution to combat these skin concerns, cleansing and refining your complexion to promote tighter and smoother skin.
Chemical peels can address the skin concerns of dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and even scarring. The transformative effects of chemical peels can uncover that youthful radiance so you glow from the inside out.
What is a chemical peel? A chemical peel involves the repeated application of exfoliating acid to your face and neck. This promotes cell turnover, revealing healthy new skin and boosting collagen production to restore the appearance of youthful, vibrant skin.
What’s the tea with chemical peels? Chemical peels transform and rejuvenate your skin by safely and effectively breaking the bonds between old, decaying skin and the fresh, new skin under the surface. A blend of exfoliating acids in the chemical peel promote cell turnover and stimulate collagen production to build a more luminous and youthful complexion. As the skin undergoes the chemical processes of regeneration, the new, healthy cells rise to the surface, resulting in smoother, more even-textured skin that revitalizes your natural beauty. You will notice a more even skin tone, minimized pores, and firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Chemical peels help eliminate imperfections and enhance your skin’s inherent glow!
